Weltman Congratulates Fiberglass Federal Credit Union

Lauren Halton, credit union client representative for Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., L.P.A.

Fiberglas Federal Credit Union’s vision supports the initial principals of the credit union movement: “People Helping People.” The credit union views being a community partner as a large component of its corporate culture. It instills in its employees the belief that their responsibility is not only to serve the needs of their membership but to also serve the needs of their community. All nine of Fiberglas’s management team serve active roles with charitable organizations: Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Licking County Coalition for Housing, Salvation Army and Saint Vincent de Paul Shelter to name just a few. Young served as Campaign Cabinet Chairman for the 2011-2012 United Way Campaign.

Sponsored by Weltman, the Weltman Outstanding Community Partner Award was created to honor those credit unions in Ohio that actively partner with their local communities to provide educational, community outreach and/or community service programs, and celebrates those that are investing time and resources into their communities and inspiring others through their work.
